Version 13 - Check - for the most recent version
- Languages: English, French, German
- Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux

-
-

Overview

-
-

This mod adds Gavin, an NPC cleric - of Lathander, to the Baldur's Gate conversions Baldur's Gate Tutu, Baldur's - Gate Trilogy, and Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition.

-
-

Compatibility

-
-

This mod is designed to work with the Baldur's Gate conversion, Tutu, - with or without the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack, with BGT-WeiDU, or - BG:EE. - This mod should be installed onto Tutu after you have run the conversion - program, in your Baldur's Gate Tutu directory, or in your BG2 directory - for BGT. Please note that - for EasyTutu users, this directory is usually named BaldursGateTutu.

-

The mod is designed to work with or without the BG1 NPC Project. - It has been tested with TutuFix v 17 (sans Walking Speeds Fix, although Gavin - will check for it), Ashes of Embers, BG2 Tweaks, - Divine Remix, Sword Coast Strategems (give that boy a magic weapon, he's - going to be in for a rough ride), Jastey's Baldur's Gate Mini Quests and Encounters Mod, Sirene's - Call, Finch, Indira, Mur'Neth, and many other mods. There are no known incompatibilities - with any mod.

-

Please note that as Gavin is not a Bioware NPC, - he will be unaffected by mods that target Bioware NPCs. - He will be unaffected by the leveling practices of Sword Coast Stratagems, - although he has his own leveling script. Tutu NPC Kitpack - will have no effect on him whatsoever. Neither BG1 NPC Project - nor SCS will send him to - wait at an inn, however this feature has already been included as part of - his kick-out dialogue. Gavin's starting proficiencies are consistent with - those allowed by his stats using Ashes of Embers.

-

Note: The file structure of Gavin version higher than 1.2 is very different from previous - versions. It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions prior - to installing Gavin v 1.3 or higher. It will be necessary to start a new game.

-
-

Installation

-
-

BGII:EE
- If you use BGII Enhanced Edition from GOG or Steam, you need to prepare your game with - modmerge before - installing any mods. -

Windows
- Gavin is packaged and installed with WeiDU and - is distributed as a self-extracting archive. To install, simply double-click - the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

-

Alternatively the files can be extracted from the archive using WinRAR. - If properly extracted, you should have a Gavin folder and Setup-Gavin.exe - in your main game folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-Gavin.exe and - follow the instructions on screen.

-

Please run setup-gavin.exe in your main game folder to reinstall, uninstall or - otherwise change components.

-

Mac OS X
- If the mod was previously installed, uninstall it before extracting the - new version. Gavin is packaged and installed with WeiDU. - To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your main game folder. - If properly extracted, you should have a Gavin folder, Setup-gavin, and Setup-gavin.command - in your main game folder. To install, simply double-click Setup-gavin.command and - follow the instructions on screen.

- Linux
-Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify. Download the latest version -of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org -and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your BG2 installation -directory, run 'tolower' and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) -if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, -so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only -this mod since the last time you lower cased file name. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing -both options is the safe bet.
-Run WeInstall gavin in your game folder to install the mod. Then run wine -BGMain.exe and start playing.
- Note that this mods assumes that you have oggdec for linux.

-

This component adds the new NPC Gavin - to the game. Gavin can be found outside the Song of the Morning Temple, near - Beregost. Gavin is a cleric of Lathander, and has the following statistics:

- -

His biography is as follows:

-

Gavin was born in Ulgoth's Beard, one of the younger children of a sailmaker - and a midwife. He had an unremarkable childhood, until, at the age of twelve, - he discovered he had a talent for healing. His father was a follower of Tyr, - but his mother worshipped Lathander. They were quite surprised to find that - thier rambunctious son had a calling to the priesthood, but they enthusiastically - supported his decision, nevertheless, accompanying him to Beregost to begin - his novitiate. His service to his god and his temple was devout, but otherwise - unimpressive, and he was ordained a Dawnbringer at the age of nineteen. Since - then, he has spent most of his time performing varied services for the temple, - but Gavin's advancement within the ranks has been slow. Gavin is twenty-eight - when you meet.

-

Quest spoilers:

-

If you can't find the key to unlock the house in Beregost, try looking in the Ulcaster ruins, the Valley of Tombs, and the Bandit Camp.

-

Note: Kelddath will only mention the Bassilus quest with Gavin in the group if the PC didn't hear about it, yet. There is no extra reward for the Bassilus quest with Gavin in the party.

+
+
+

Overview

+
+
+
+
+

This mod adds Gavin, a neutral good Dawnbringer of Lathander, to Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition or the Baldur's Gate conversion projects Tutu, Baldur's Gate Trilogy, and Enhanced Edition Trilogy.

+

Gavin was born in Ulgoth's Beard, one of the younger children of a sailmaker and a midwife. He had an unremarkable childhood, until, at the age of 12, he discovered he had a talent for healing. His father was a follower of Tyr, but his mother worshipped Lathander. They were quite surprised to find that their rambunctious son had a calling to the priesthood, but they enthusiastically supported his decision, nevertheless, accompanying him to Beregost to begin his novitiate. His service to his god and his temple was devout, but otherwise unimpressive, and he was ordained a Dawnbringer at the age of 19. Since then, he has spent most of his time performing varied services for the temple, but Gavin's advancement within the ranks has been slow. Gavin is 28 when you meet.

+
+
+

Compatibility

+
+
+
+
+

This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition or the conversion projects EET, BGT, or Tutu. This mod should be installed onto Tutu after you have run the conversion program, in your Baldur's Gate Tutu directory, or in your BG2 directory for BGT. Please note that for EasyTutu users, this directory is usually named BaldursGateTutu.

+

The mod is designed to work with or without the BG1 NPC Project. It has been tested with TutuFix v 17 (sans Walking Speeds Fix, although Gavin will check for it), Ashes of Embers, Tweaks Anthology, Divine Remix, Sword Coast Stratagems (give that boy a magic weapon, he's going to be in for a rough ride), Jastey's Baldur's Gate Mini Quests and Encounters Mod, Sirene's Call, Finch, Indira, Mur'Neth, and many other mods. There are no known incompatibilities with any mod.

Bug Reporting and Known Issues

+
+
+
+
+

If you should encounter any bugs, please report them to the authors at the Gavin forum. In addition, Gavin is available on GitHub, so fixes and changes can be submitted by the community.

+
+
+

Installation

+
+
+
+
+

First time installing a mod? Check out G3's comprehensive tutorial: A New Player's Guide to Installing and Playing Mods.

+

Special Note for Siege of Dragonspear from Steam/GOG
+ Good Old Games (GOG) and Steam both package the additional content for Siege of Dragonspear in a method that WeiDU, the tool used to install this mod, cannot access. You must run a program called DLC Merger on your SoD installation before you can install this or any other WeiDU-based mod.

+

Enhanced Editions Note
+ The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. It is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

+

Windows
+ The Gavin NPC mod for Windows is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

+

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-gavin.exe and the folder gavin. To install, double-click setup-gavin.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-gavin.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

+

macOS
+ The Gavin NPC mod for macOS is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

+

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-gavin, setup-gavin.command, and the folder gavin. To install, double-click setup-gavin.command and follow the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-gavin.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

+

Linux
+ The Gavin NPC mod for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer. Linux users will need to do a one-time install of WeiDU (and a few other adjustments) as described in this great writeup.

+

To install, run 'WeInstall gavin in your game folder.

+

Note for Complete Uninstallation
+ In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely uninstall the mod using setup-gavin --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts.

+
+
+

Contents

+
+
+
+
+

The mod has five components.

+

Gavin

+

This component adds the new NPC Gavin to the game. Gavin can be found outside the Song of the Morning Temple, near Beregost. Gavin is a NG cleric of Lathander, and has the following statistics:

+
    +
  • STR: 16
    • +
  • DEX: 12
    • +
  • CON: 16
    • +
  • INT: 12
    • +
  • WIS: 17
    • +
  • CHR: 12
    • +
+

His biography is as follows:

+

Gavin was born in Ulgoth's Beard, one of the younger children of a sailmaker and a midwife. He had an unremarkable childhood, until, at the age of twelve, he discovered he had a talent for healing. His father was a follower of Tyr, but his mother worshipped Lathander. They were quite surprised to find that thier rambunctious son had a calling to the priesthood, but they enthusiastically supported his decision, nevertheless, accompanying him to Beregost to begin his novitiate. His service to his god and his temple was devout, but otherwise unimpressive, and he was ordained a Dawnbringer at the age of nineteen. Since then, he has spent most of his time performing varied services for the temple, but Gavin's advancement within the ranks has been slow. Gavin is twenty-eight when you meet.

+

Gavin will attempt to befriend a protagonist of any race who is not evil or an assassin. Gavin will not withhold his friendship based on reputation, but he will leave if it should fall below 5. There are no statistical requirements for friendship.

+

Gavin will join a party with an evil or assassin protagonist, and will make interjections and banter with other NPCs, but he will not participate in any of the friendship talks.

+

Quest spoilers:

+

If you can't find the key to unlock the house in Beregost, try looking in the Ulcaster ruins, the Valley of Tombs, and the Bandit Camp.

+

Note: Kelddath will only mention the Bassilus quest with Gavin in the group if the PC didn't hear about it, yet. There is no extra reward for the Bassilus quest with Gavin in the party.

+

Gavin Romance (Mature Content)

+

Gavin has no racial preferences, for friendship or romance. A romance guide (PDF, 916k) is available (there's also a copy in the mod folder).

+
    +
  • Gender: Gavin will only romance a female protagonist.
    • +
  • Alignment: While Gavin will befriend a neutral protagonist, he will only be attracted to a female of good alignment.
    • +
  • Class restrictions: Gavin will not be attracted to an assassin, bounty hunter, or necromancer of any alignment.
    • +
  • Stat requirement: Gavin admires a strong leader, so he will only be attracted to a protagonist with a charisma of 12 or better and a wisdom of 10 or better.
    • +
  • Reputation: A reputation of 11 or higher is required to initiate and sustain the romance, but for it to progress past a certain rather obvious point, a reputation of 15 or better is required and must be maintained. Gavin will warn the PC if her reputation needs work with plenty of time to improve it.
    • +
  • Offense: Gavin is not particularly easily offended, but he will not tolerate frequent insult to his values, or too many callous or cruel decisions. Gavin appreciates the kind of maturity that cannot be measured in years. Obviously immature PC responses are also likely to offend.
    • +
+

This component will install a romance track for Gavin. The player can select the default time between Gavin's romance banters. Options are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour (default), 1 hour 15 minutes, and 1 hour 30 minutes.

+

Gavin Flirt Pack

+

If the player installs Gavin's romance track, they can also install a flirt pack for Gavin. From time to time Gavin will flirt with the PC.

+

Alternative Portraits

+

Gavin has six alternative portraits that the player can select.

+

Gavin Player-Initiated Dialogues

+

This will add the ability for the player to approach Gavin and begin banters with him, just as they can with other NPCs.

A Gibberlings Three Mod
- Author: berelinde

- On the web: Home - page and discussion - forum

- -

Version 22 - Check - for the most recent version
- Languages: English
- Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux

- -
-

Overview

-
-

This mod adds the NPC Gavin Mor to your BG2 game. Gavin is a Dawnbringer of Lathander.

-

If you met Gavin in Baldur's Gate, you may pick up where you left off or you may decide that you met him for the first time in Athkatla. The choice is yours.

-

Once in your party, Gavin will banter with all BioWare NPCs. He has an extensive friendship track and can be romanced - by any female Bhaalspawn whose wisdom and charisma are 8 or higher. Enjoy!

-
-

Compatibility

-
-

This mod is designed to work with Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with or - without the Throne of Bhaal expansion pack. The mod should be compatible with other - WeiDU mods.

-
-

Installation

-
-

BGII:EE
- If you use BGII Enhanced Edition from GOG or Steam, you need to prepare your game with - modmerge before - installing any mods. -

Windows
- Gavin for BG2 is packaged and installed with WeiDU - and is distributed as a self-extracting archive. To install, simply double-click - the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

-

Alternatively the files can be extracted from the archive using - WinRAR. If properly extracted, you should - have a gavin_bg2 folder and setup-gavin_bg2.exe in your - BG2 folder. To install, simply double-click - setup-gavin_bg2.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

-

Please run setup-gavin_bg2.exe in your BG2 - folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

-

Mac OS X
- If the mod was previously installed, uninstall it before extracting the - new version. Gavin for BG2 is packaged and installed with WeiDU. - To install, simply extract the contents of the mod into your BG2 directory.  If - properly extracted, you should have a gavin_bg2 folder, setup-gavin_bg2, - and setup-gavin_bg2.command in your BG2 directory. - To install, simply double-click setup-gavin_bg2.command and - follow the instructions on screen.

-

Linux
- Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify. - Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy - WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to - your BG2 installation directory, run 'tolower' and answer Y to both queries.
- You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran - it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, - so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either - if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lower cased file - name. If you are unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the - safe bet.
- Run WeInstall gavin_bg2 in your game folder to install the mod. Then run - wine BGMain.exe and start playing.
- Note that this mods assumes that you have oggdec for linux.

- -
-

Contents

-
-

The mod contains several components that can be installed independently - of one another.

-

Gavin for BG2
-

This is the main component that will add Gavin to your Shadows of Amn game. - He can be found in the Slums of Athkatla, in the Temple of Ilmater on the roof of the Copper Coronet.

-

Gavin has frequent banters with the PC. These can be hushed by asking him. If you find his interjections annoying, these can be silenced as well, though he will always react to decisions that offend him.

-

To continue a committed romance begun earlier, the PC will need to have met his requirements for romance in BG1: female, good-aligned, wisdom of 10 or better, charisma of 12 or better, and not an assassin, bounty hunter, or necromancer. To choose this option, you can recognize the ring you find in the opening dungeon, or you can acknowledge him as "love" in his joining dialogue. To begin a new romance in BG2, do not recognize the ring and avoid calling him "love" in his joining dialogue. In BG2, any female PC with both wisdom and charisma of 8 or better who is not an assassin may begin a new romance.

-

If the PC is male and if Gavin knew him in BG1, Gavin will have a short romance arc with Imoen after she is recruited in Spellhold.

-

Gavin heals the PC when below 50% health
- Requires Gavin for BG2

-

Some players appreciated the fact that Gavin would heal the PC when his or her health dropped below 50%, other players did not. Now the component is optional. Please note that if you install this component, you can disable the auto-heal behavior at any time through player-initiated dialogue, but if you don't install the component, he will only heal the PC if you select him and cast the spells manually.

-

Multi-romance cheat
- Requires Gavin for BG2

-

Applies only to Anomen and Edwin.

-

You're on your 47th playthrough of BG2, and you really, really wish there was a way that you could get in as many romances as possible. Or maybe you're a saint in real life, but you'd like your pixelated alter-ego to live a more daring lifestyle. Either way, you would like to see all the conflict dialogues, but you don't want relationships to end over them. If you install "No romance kills" you can multi-romance to your heart's content. You'll still get all the conflict dialogues, and somebody may even say that the relationship is over, but it isn't. This component affects Romantic Encounter reactions, too. Gavin will complain, and you'll get the conflict dialogues, but a relationship will never end because you've got too many names on your dance card. If you mortally offend Gavin by telling him off bigtime or kick him out of the party in an exceptionally rude manner, the relationship will end, but it won't be because you were seeing someone else.


-

Alternate Portraits
- Requires Gavin for BG2

-

This multiple-choice component allows you to optionally install one of six - alterate portraits for Gavin.

+
+
+

Installation

+
+
+
+
+

First time installing a mod? Check out G3's comprehensive tutorial: A New Player's Guide to Installing and Playing Mods.

+

Enhanced Editions Note
+ The Enhanced Editions are actively supported games. Please note that every patch update will wipe your current mod setup! If in the middle of a modded game you might want to delay the patch update (if possible) as even after reinstalling the mods, you might not be able to continue with your old savegames. Alternatively, copy the whole game's folder into a new one that can be modded and will stay untouched by game patches. It is important that you install the mod to the language version you are playing the game in. Otherwise, the dialogues of the mod will not show but give error messages.

+

Windows
+ The Gavin NPC mod for Windows is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

+

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-gavin_bg2.exe and the folder gavin_bg2. To install, double-click setup-gavin_bg2.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-gavin_bg2.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

+

macOS
+ The Gavin NPC mod for macOS is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

+

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-gavin_bg2, setup-gavin_bg2.command, and the folder gavin_bg2. To install, double-click setup-gavin_bg2.command and follow the instructions on screen.

+

You can run setup-gavin_bg2.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

+

Linux
+ The Gavin NPC mod for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer. Linux users will need to do a one-time install of WeiDU (and a few other adjustments) as described in this great writeup.

+

To install, run 'WeInstall gavin_bg2 in your game folder.

+

Note for Complete Uninstallation
+ In addition to the methods above for removing individual components, you can completely uninstall the mod using setup-gavin_bg2 --uninstall at the command line to remove all components without wading through prompts.

+

Contents

+
+
+
+
+

The mod contains several components that can be installed independently + of one another.

+

Gavin for BG2

+

This is the main component that will add Gavin to your Baldur's Gate II game. + He can be found in the Slums of Athkatla, in the Temple of Ilmater on the roof of the Copper Coronet. Gavin is a NG cleric of Lathander, and has the following statistics:

+
    +
  • STR: 16
    • +
  • DEX: 12
    • +
  • CON: 16
    • +
  • INT: 12
    • +
  • WIS: 17
    • +
  • CHR: 12
    • +
+

His biography is as follows:

+

When asked about his past, Gavin tells you that it was fairly unremarkable. He was born to a sailmaker and a midwife in Ulgoth's Beard and has wanted to be a priest of Lathander since he was a boy. After several years of service to the Song of the Morning Temple in Beregost, he finally felt the lure of adventure.

+

Gavin has frequent banters with the PC. These can be hushed by asking him. If you find his interjections annoying, these can be silenced as well, though he will always react to decisions that offend him.

+

To continue a committed romance begun earlier, the PC will need to have met his requirements for romance in BG1: female, good-aligned, wisdom of 10 or better, charisma of 12 or better, and not an assassin, bounty hunter, or necromancer. To choose this option, you can recognize the ring you find in the opening dungeon, or you can acknowledge him as "love" in his joining dialogue. To begin a new romance in BG2, do not recognize the ring and avoid calling him "love" in his joining dialogue. In BG2, any female PC with both wisdom and charisma of 8 or better who is not an assassin may begin a new romance.

If the PC is male and if Gavin knew him in BG, Gavin will have a short romance arc with Imoen after she is recruited in Spellhold.

Please note that if you install this component, you can disable the auto-heal behavior at any time through player-initiated dialogue, but if you don't install the component, he will only heal the PC if you select him and cast the spells manually.

Gavin NPC for Baldur's Gate + II is fair game. Knock yourselves out. Don't repackage or redistribute without the consent of the owner, berelinde, or the mod's current maintiner.

+

Gavin's theme is a portion of "The Pearl" by Silly Wizard + and is available on the Best of Silly Wizard album, available through Amazon or elsewhere. Good music. You need this.

+

If Silly Wizard or its agents object to the material included + in this modification, please contact me and I will + remove it... with great reluctance, but fair is fair.

+

Gavin's friendship theme is Lanagan's Ball, used under license from MusicLoops.com.

+

The default portrait is an edit based on Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, + a fictional character in the films of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The same goes for + the "Original alternate" by Kaeloree. The creator of the original photo is sadly unknown to us. + Please let us know if you have more information on the matter.

+

The portrait "Red tunic, by Miloch" is based on Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Man".

Gavin for NPC for Baldur's Gate - II is fair game. Knock yourselves out. Don't repackage or redistribute without the consent of the owner, berelinde, or the mod's current maintiner.
-

Gavin's theme is a portion of "The Pearl" by Silly Wizard - and is available on the Best of Silly Wizard album, available through Amazon or elsewhere. Good music. You need this.

-

If Silly Wizard or its agents object to the material included - in this modification, please contact me and I will - remove it... with great reluctance, but fair is fair.

-

Gavin's friendship theme is Lanagan's Ball, used under license from MusicLoops.com. -

-

The default portrait is an edit based on Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, -a fictional character in the films of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The same goes for -the "Original alternate" by Kaeloree. The creator of the original photo is sadly unknown to us. -Please let us know if you have more information on the matter.

-

The portrait "Red tunic, by Miloch" is based on Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Man".

-

The portrait "Dragon Age style portrait by berelinde" was created using the sprite generator of -Dragon Age: Origin (BioWare, Edmonton Studio).

-

If you see any artwork in this mod that might conflict with Copyright rules please -let us know as soon as possible, and we will remove the conflicting content immediately.
